Macomb County Criminal Sexual Conduct Defense Lawyers
The state of Michigan and the federal government take allegations of criminal sexual conduct very seriously. Penalties can have a life-changing effect on those convicted. Some convicted sex offenders face life imprisonment. Many more face long prison sentences and harsh fines, as well as a 25 year registration requirement. This requirement limits the places you can live and work, and it ensures that your neighbors will know about your criminal past.
The best approach is to avoid conviction through strong and effective legal action. At Garton & Vogt, P.C., we can help. Our criminal defense attorneys use 20 years of experience to help you get the best possible results. In many cases, this includes dropped charges, lesser charges, acquittals or findings of "not guilty" in a jury trial.

- Sex with a minor
- Sex with a relative

If You Are Facing Rape Charges
Many people charged with rape are read their Miranda rights. They hear that they have the right to remain silent during questioning in custody, but they don't use that right. Many feel that they have to explain the situation. Others want to deny things right from the start. However, denying charges or making up excuses can actually get you into more trouble. If you are facing rape charges — or any criminal charges for that matter — the best thing you can do is remain silent. The next best thing you can do is call a lawyer. Under the law, if you request a lawyer, you cannot be interrogated until your lawyer is with you.
If you are facing rape charges, call Garton & Vogt, P.C. We will be by your side and protect your rights, helping you achieve the best possible results.
